Love Me Reckless

this poem is very descriptive of me, personally....

 

Love Me Reckless

 

No, reckless isn’t brave

Nor is it a thoughtless waste

Reckless will bring you to your grave

Seizing every ounce of this fleeting life

Ending it all in a blaze

 

Reckless lives are short

This existence leaves no survivors

Fill yourself with emotion, exhilaration

Drown yourself in this ocean

Love to saturation point.

 

Soon, when it comes time to say goodbye

To give in to fate and let die

You’ve loved, you’ve lost

You’ve lived life to its fullest.

 

Don’t worry about the cost

The chains of regret bite the cruelest.

The price is paid

You’ve lived, you’ve breathed, you’re gone.

 

You can’t change the wind,

The seasons, the tide

Neither will you change my mind

So love me just as I live

 

Love me reckless

Take my hand

I’ll leave you breathless

Pull you through this darkness

Love me reckless

 

Don’t condemn me

Try to bend me

Or waste time trying to protect me

From my careless whims

Risky endeavors to which you’re victim

 

This is how I thrive

No other way to survive

The beautiful challenge

Life’s seductive appeal

 

All I want are the thrills

In every moment, this phenomenal high

Living so close to the edge kills

But I can’t help this nature of mine

 

So love me Reckless

Take my hand

I’ll leave you breathless

Show you life at its brightest

Love me reckless

 

I may seem senseless

Uncaring and relentless

In my pursuit of these capricious

Vivacious notions of mine

 

I know it sparks concern

Worry and frustration

When will you learn?

 

Your good advice is wasted breath

I ignore your sanity

Living in another reality

There is no sensibility

 

I will never change

Though life will rearrange

People will leave me

Too scared by what they see in me

 

Doesn’t matter, too late

No tears of mine will be put to waste

In sorrow for the loss

Of ones I loved but never truly had

 

But I want you

I want you to stay with me

Put up with these whims of mine

Sometimes I will make you sigh

And you’ll wish I’d chosen another life

But you’ll never feel so alive

As on this stormy ride

 

Love me for what I am

Love me Reckless

Take my hand

I’ll leave you breathless

Pull you out of your emptiness

Love me Reckless

Love me Reckless

A very well written piece. You say you are not good with poetry but I gotta say your just been modest and I completely disagree. It had emotion and also I think a little confusion. Not in that it wasnt understandable but like you ment it to be there. i dont know if that makes sense or not.
Reckless can be almost a good thing at times but at other times it can be bad. I think you portrayed it very well. then there was a moment that its asking someone to love them for who they are.
Beautiful write!

Ps: Thanks for joining my group and taking ur time to submit your writing. I am so happy you chose to.

Hmm..this is very well done, indeed.
This type of topic, genre, whatever, normally isn't what I'm into...but this on the other hand I like.
You incoporated life respect and new ideas into a love-like poem, which was different, a nice change.
The rhythmn and flow is great.
You're very talented, may I add this piece to my favourites?

Well done,
